  • KLASIK TV will launch its autumn schedule on September 15 with the classic series The Written-Offs.
  • The channel will then air Better Life and films including Gori Vatra and Summer in the Golden Valley.
  • The lineup combines popular former Yugoslav television series with films focused on resistance, postwar life, corruption, family obligations and crime.

KLASIK TV is opening its autumn season with a lineup built around cult series, film premieres and familiar regional favorites. The schedule begins on September 15 with The Written-Offs, a story of young underground fighters resisting occupation in Belgrade.

The series centers on Prle, played by Dragan Nikoliฤ‡, and Tihi, played by Voja Brajoviฤ‡. KLASIK describes the pair as pop-culture icons whose roles helped define the showโ€™s reputation. Its fast-moving action, departure from the ideological formulas common at the time and memorable theme by Milivoje Markoviฤ‡ helped make it a landmark television thriller.

After The Written-Offs, viewers will move into the Popadiฤ‡ family home for Better Life. The series follows its familiar characters through romantic, professional and financial complications. The plot turns on an unusual inheritance left by the sister of family head Siniลกa Popadiฤ‡, whose will includes a series of unexpected conditions. The show begins on October 4.

The film schedule starts with Gori Vatra, a dramatic comedy set in postwar Teลกanj in the late 1990s. Residents prepare for Bill Clintonโ€™s arrival while the mayor tries to construct an idyllic image of the town. Corruption, poverty and crime prove impossible to conceal.

The end of October brings the premiere of Summer in the Golden Valley. Its central character, Fikret Varupa, learns at his fatherโ€™s funeral that his father owed a large debt to a complete stranger named Hamid. When Hamid insists on payment, Fikret takes on the familyโ€™s moral burden and enters Sarajevoโ€™s underworld in an attempt to clear his family name.
